Onyx Beacon provides integrated solutions of micro-location and contextual communication for multiple sectors and use cases, based on Bluetooth Beacon technology, working both with iBeacon and Eddystone protocols. Our solutions are ready to use or can be easily customized, according to your needs.

Asset Tracking and Real Time Locating Services

Save time and money in your Logistics & Manufacturing operations, by transforming micro-location and accurate indoor positioning into a powerful competitive advantage.

Use Bluetooth beacons’ capacities for location intelligence and our Real-Time Locating Services to allow anyone on your team to find the assets they need within your premises, on web and mobile, easy and fast.

Keep track of the exact location of your assets

Onyx Beacon help businesses that produce high value assets in big quantities in solving problems related to locating those items in their big warehouses or parking lots.

Optimize item delivery

We enable you to easily search and find your items and, therefore, schedule with ease which item should go to which order.

Locate the assets faster

The technologies used to locate assets (smart tags like passive RFID) have a limited transmission range (typically a few meters). But our Bluetooth Low Energy Beacons have a range up to 70 meters, which simplifies the whole process.

Get a location overview of your inventory

We give you a map based visualization to give a drill down layered overview of your inventory location.

Increase store traffic and offer attractive interaction

Attract more shoppers in your store by delivering welcome messages or tempting coupons at the entrance of the shop or on the hallways of the mall and by promoting the best offers of the day to those passing-by near your store.
Send them more information about a product they show interest in when they are in front of it, help them in making a decision and make their life easier.

Advertise for you and your partners

Use socio-demographics and other accurate data gathered on the CMS, in order to deliver customized commercial messages. By knowing the profile, gender, age and interests of your shoppers, you can provide them smart effective promotions and relevant contextual information. Leverage your BLE Beacons infrastructure to generate additional value and revenue by allowing brands and partners to advertise for their products or services.

Take advantage of real-time analytics

Accurate real-time analytics about your visitors in-store behavior is gathered by our CMS platform. See what shoppers do while they are at your location, how much time they spend in each aisle and which are the items of interest for them. Visualize heatmaps to improve your merchandises exposure. Integrate your CRM with our CMS using RestAPI, to fully control the communication with your clients.

Banking: customized communication

Use beacon infrastructures to detect the presence of your customers close to the bank, before they enter your branch. Your account managers will know who these customers are and what do they exactly need, by integrating our APIs with the bank’s CRM platform.

Customers will receive the newest personalized and relevant information and a customized experience from their bank. For data security reasons, the solution is ready for Virtual Appliance deployment.

Groups management, safety and accessibility for aged or disabled clients, in-station guidance, touristic sightseeing, individual monitoring, and community development are other features possible in our solution.

Helping disabled people to travel within the city

We created a completely functional solution, helping the disabled to create customized routes within the city and guiding them to precisely choose and use the bus lines of their interest, when the vehicles arrive in station.
Beacons are placed, individually, on buses and the mobile app installed on user’s smartphone, available for IOS and Android, notifies him when the bus approaches at 50-60 meters from the station. When the bus reaches the station, the buzzer of the beacon broadcasts a specific sound, indicating the precise location of the bus needed by the user.

Customized services, made-to-measure transportation

Onyx Beacon is ready to seriously expand the capabilities of the solution and to offer an important number of new services, based on exactly the same Bluetooth Low Energy concept and infrastructure, or by just adding to the existing infrastructure supplementary Bluetooth Beacons in bus stations or introducing personal „keychain beacons” for passengers in special situations.
